When the revolution comes, those that talk loudly and/or do not turn off their phones in libraries will be first against the wall.

Suicide risk tutorial today, a sample:

Hungarian tutor with the BTs (and yes, that’s easier to remember than his actual name, which is pretty much devoid of vowels): So, which country would you say had the highest suicide risk? Translation: What kind of countries have high suicide rates? Correct answer: developed, industrial, urban.Actual answer, from Riyang: Japan.(This seemed very random, so we all burst out laughing. Laughter always seems to hurt the Hungarian’s feelings, as he asks with a sad, bewildered face, “What is so funny?” Usually we don’t know. Aside from his shoes, that is.)Iylia: Because it’s Communist!Me: Wow. I feel so much less bad for thinking Vegas is in California and not Nevada, now.Ian: Nevada? Isn’t that in Texas?

Hungarian tutor with the BTs: What do you call attempted suicide that is not successful?Warren: Not dying?

We then discussed, intensely and at length, whether or not you could drown yourself in a bath. And if having a voodoo curse put on you constitutes suicide. The majority concluded yes. TOMORROW’S DOCTORS, PEOPLE.

This made me giggle too much for such a serious topic!Mind you, my first guess of country was also Japan, because I had in mind the romanticisation of 'love suicide', plus the sometimes repressed social culture, kids who don't leave their rooms for years, etc.I think you could drown yourself in a bath if you first got so drunk or drugged that your subconscious survival mechanisms were overcome.And the voodoo curse? I guess it depends how much you believe in it! I think the belief is what makes that sort of thing work (along with most natural therapies, and placebos).
